Yes looks like my SD card got corrupted too with ICS ROPM but i think it started from v3.

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

Have you formatted SYSTEM in CWR? and than did you do Factory Reset before installing ROM?
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Wow. Awesome job. No lag, and the browser is phenomenal. I did a format of my sd card after backing up particular things which I think helped enormously. Either way, neo, you and your team kick ass! :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
Hmm maybe a bad flash? Try unmount your SD card and remount then reboot and see if it worked if not try reflashing
[Vibrant Android Development] os2baba:
Yes. Followed the OP to a T. Formatted system, wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache, reset phone. Installed zip. booted. waited for 10 minutes. rebooted. The second time, it's a little better, but still very laggy. Especially, when I scroll through the Titanium list of apps. Very Jerky. Jerky occasionally scrolling through the home pages and widgets.
[Vibrant Android Development] o0stryxs0o:
For those having lag issues. I encourage you to go to the market and get Voltage Control, and bring your CPU back down to 1000MHz instead of 1,200. Some Vibrant models accept OC'ing some really don't and they express their dislike by being laggy. Mine is one of those for sure.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dattack:
Have to do a second reboot and now almost all lag is gone.

Oh and I can't believe how you got GPS to work. I think it has been ages where GPS has worked on the vibrant other than froyo. Even froyo didn't lock this quick.

What governor are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] mailboy1412:
I had that problem before while I was using v6.5. I had to format and start new, lucky I had things backed up in my computer.
[Vibrant Android Development] ameedi600:
This rom seems a lot more stable now, finally lol video recording. Thank you Neo, also a friend of mine has a Samsung captivate with stock 2.2 and his phones USB port doesn't work. Plus it isn't rooted or have unknown sources. He charges it by using a battery charger. My question is if there is a way to root it or enable unknown sources without root or computer. Thank you and please someone answer instead of ignoring it.

[Vibrant Android Development] arin8000:
Love this Rom , super fast , lag free (except few launcher lags) and super strong GPS! It's the only time it locks in a closed parking lot!

I got my Christmas gift. Thank you so much Neo for all you've done for us :))
[Vibrant Android Development] ludachez:
You want to root your friends Captivate without USB and such? I think your only hope is to try to find the "update.zip" that CWM creates to load CWM on our phones in the first stages of rooting and recovery. If he can download it and place it on the root of the phone he may be able to load that update.zip in his stock recovery to get to a CWM recovery and then load a rom that is pre rooted, which is like all of them. This is all i could think of and im not sure it would work. when i first rooted my vibrant, shortly after it was released, it was an update.zip you flashed that made root.

So far this is running much better than v7 but i am all for finding a way to get rid of that Google search bar. i really dont like it there and it would really change everything for me...
[Vibrant Android Development] samuelasmith201086:
Anyone having a problem downloading from the market I'm getting a -101 error
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Ok could someone please explain the difference between the bootloader and CWR...I thought Clockwork WAS the bootloader but is recovery a different thing? Yes, noob here lol.

I am at v7 which is working fine for me and hesitant to update (a phone which I need working!) before I know what to do, OP doesn't mention if I need to flash a bootloader coming from ICS :D

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] subzerold:
just wipe system, data and factory reset the flash new zip
[Vibrant Android Development] o0stryxs0o:
The Boot loader and Clockwork are not the same. Clockwork is a type of recovery mode that's been modified for all of our flashing needs. The boot loader has more to do with your phones booting sequence and process. If you need a working phone I do suggest you install the Gingerbread boot loader because otherwise you won't be able to see clockwork at all. Its really not difficult to do as long as you follow the instruction intensely. As far as V8 goes though I just got it loaded and its going great so far.
[Vibrant Android Development] nuwanmw1988:
any way to get DSP manager for this rom?it worked in previous versions..but in v8 its force closing.
[Vibrant Android Development] amblingaardvark:
AWESOME!!!

Neo, nGiordano, Annex, whoever else is involved in this ROM, you guys have outdone yourselves this time! THIS ROM ROCKS!!!! :cool: This is def the best version yet, it just keeps getting better. I have no lag, google apps open consistently and smoothly. The browser is much faster, transitions are smooth and fluid. GPS locks on amazing(even with WIFI and Location services off all you haters:D) and my phone is playing music off of my external sd card again. I've been with you all the way so far and this is the best version yet, and I must say that this is the best ROM I've had on my vibrant, and I've tried them all :p Thank you SO MUCH for the awesome Christmas gift, it's AMAZING!!!!

Rock on!!
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
recovery is recovery self explanitory there

the bootloader is what tells the system to turn on and how to turn on, it tells the system how to enter recovery, download mode, and the actual OS. corrupting the bootloader is almost a sure way to a perma brick as the system won't respond to hardware keys.

which leads me to the advice Do NOT flash bootloaders if you have blond moments or your forgetful. READ the bootloader Thread COMPLETELY for a better understanding.

also anyone experiencing issues with sms/mms after enabling wifi? it's like wifi completely disabled my tower data and i couldn't recieve any texts until i rebooted. random oddness or a bug?

[Vibrant Android Development] mattraab:
You are the bees knees neo. Hope this one works Well.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Thanks for the advice - flashed bootloader and v8 and is working great. To all involved, fantastic ROM, love the attention to detail like the new silent/vibrate/sound buttons!

Launcher did however crash for me once on opening the apps tray, after i had fixed permissions :/
[Vibrant Android Development] wolfie083188:
Quick question neo, i bought the ffc just for the face unlock a few days ago when i swiched to v7, will you continue to work on the face unlock support or is it droped alltogether? thaks alot for this im flashing to v8 now. (ive been with you since v3)
[Vibrant Android Development] jakebriggs:
Toggles in Notification Pulldown

The "Toggles in Notification Pulldown" in the changelog - does that refer to the "Notification Toggle" app? Because I don't see any toggle buttons :(

P.S. The rom rules the school
[Vibrant Android Development] kazumahits:
why do i have a rainbow bootup? its normal?
[Vibrant Android Development] amblingaardvark:
Dude, are you serious? Read the op... you need to change your boot loader.
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
wow front facing video!
[Vibrant Android Development] wopper69:
Thanks for the work on ICS. Works great so far.

I searched and couldn't find an answer for one small issue I have. On both v7 and v8 I've had a persistent voicemail icon notification, but no voicemails. It won't go away, no matter what. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Alex9090:
Call your phone from another phone, leave a message. Call voice mail and listen to whole message and then delete the message. It should go away.
[Vibrant Android Development] azzzz:
Try leaving yourself a voice mail and then delete it. Maybe that'll help. Good luck
[Vibrant Android Development] XiaoSiuMai:
i just flashed it and i noticed that it isnt going into deep sleep. Its not on the charger.
[Vibrant Android Development] nuwanmw1988:
I had that problem in v7.. but not in this.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesgg:
Just upgraded from v7 to v8. During the booting process, right after the "Samsung vibrant" screen I get a yellow&white kind of distorted screen, then it switches to the colorful boot animation. I guess the picture that says "ics with passion v8" is what gets distorted during boot. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
It's called Rainbow.

Flash GB Bootloader.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
IT may have got lost in the shuffle/large number of posts.

1.) Disable Google photo sync in accounts and sync

2.) add .nomedia to your titanium backup and clockwordmod folder in the sdcard

3.) Change the clock speed back down to 1000Mhz and "apply at boot"

4.) Go in to manage apps and force stop the media service

5.) Delete the media service data while your there and then reboot

6.) Wait for it to settle for 5-10min

The .nomedia seemed to be the biggest thing for me and others reported success with it, ever since I did that 90% of my issues were resolved with the deep sleep. I had a problem with duplicate photos until I deleted the data in the media service.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesgg:
Thanks Neo, awesome work as always.
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Thanks for the review . :)

Yes, GPS does work.

For those who have problem with GPS... try reading FAQ...
[Vibrant Android Development] B-Mobile:
rainbows

I’m a lil confused: i flashed ICS Passion v7 coming from a MIUI based ROM and I didn't have any rainbow issues. But when i flashed v8 coming from v7 now I’m getting a rainbow at initial boot up how/why did that happen?

I see this is not a one-time occurrence so ill go ahead and flash a GB bootloader and be done with it

2 quick things NEO:

the Digital Clock widget that was in v7 I don’t see in v8 (not a fan of the analog clock)

And can I flash the v7 battery MOD on v8?

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] XiaoSiuMai:
Hopefully it will solve itself after a night of charging.
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
Weird, when I go to 4sh... no matter what I type in the same results come up that aren't even related. And on every page its the same. Anything to do with the browser?

I noticed my exchange calendar not syncing.... It shows my google calendar entries but not exchange, I'll try wiping and reflashing.

Some people in the MODs thread have already tried it. they ended up in a boot loop. So we have to wait til its updated for v8
[Vibrant Android Development] papi5120:
Hey guys I'm having a slight issue with the soft keys the lights are constantly on and never turn off

Anyone else having problem watching flash video with the browser. My usual "couch tuner" website isn't working properly. It loaded the video and played a bit then froze. I have this problem with stock browser.and dolphin browser. Im on v7. How's v8 with flash video? Much thanks im advance for any info and help.
[Vibrant Android Development] nuwanmw1988:
Force GPU rendering or not?!
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
if don't flash bootloader, just has rainbow problem. isn't it
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Yeah... love v8... have to go back... calendar shows the exchange account but states no calendars to sync. Looks like its still the 4.0.1 calendar

:(

I'd love to figure out what mod he used to be able to edit doc prefs/remove google bar
[Vibrant Android Development] Duntkno:
is odin the only way i can install these GB bootloaders?
[Vibrant Android Development] azzzz:
Is this question directed at me, regarding flash video? If so, i do not have it checked. I.tried checking it but still the same result. Gonna reboot to recovery and clear cache.

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

Yes it is. It's pretty quick and painless actually but just make sure you got the proper file. Don't wanna kill your phone by being careless. good luck

hi can i odin the bootloader from v7 or do i have to back to stock jfd first and start from zero?

You can odin the bootloader while in v7. I did that.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheAggression:
Hey all, I'll be flashing a coworkers phone today at work. Her phone is still running stock 2.1 aka éclair. Would this be a great rom to give her? Also considering that she's coming from stock 2.1, is the flashing method different? Or is it the same? Reboot into recovery, format system, factory reset and flash??
[Vibrant Android Development] ephesus79:
Yea, I can confirm that exchange calendars don't work on v8. Bummer.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Follow the instructions on the first page... make sure to update the GB boot loader. If she uses the exchange client, the calendar does not sync/display for exchange and you might want to try using v7. v8 is sooo much better
[Vibrant Android Development] amblingaardvark:
Flash worked fine for me in V7 and now in V8. Are you sure you have the latest version of flash? Maybe you restored an older version that doesn't work with ICS, I don't know just throwing it out there :) If you can't get it to work on V7 I would recommend just upgrading to v8, cuz its awesome :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Duntkno:
do we leave auto reboot/ and F. reset time ticked? or no? ON ODIN

[Vibrant Android Development] james11417:
You probably should choose a more stable ROM that you know she won't have problems with. I flashed my gf's Evo and she doesn't know how to troubleshoot if she has any problems. So annoying I have to do everything. Plus she is used to sense so it had to be a sense ROM.

I suggest a Froyo rom like Project-V. CM7 not really since 911 doesn't work and you never know if she'll need it, but you don't want to be responsible if a situation arises.

About this rom:

Is lag an issue at all? v7 was awful and I had to go back to CM7. Everything else I was happy with, but oh god, the lag!!

[Vibrant Android Development] TheAggression:
Thanks.... I don't think she uses an exchange client. Would I still need to update the gb bootloader? She just uses the basic functionalities of her phone and is tired of it always freezing/crashing on her. I was going to play it safe and just give her a stable froyo rom I was just thinking why not give her the latest and greatest lol
[Vibrant Android Development] azzzz:
I'm using the flash version that came with the rom. flash work everywhere but froze during movie playback after a minute or two. After i "force gpu" and clear cache in recovery, i was able to watch about 15 minutes into a TV show before it froze again. I guess I'll give v8 a try. Thank.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheAggression:
Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Thanks because I was just planning on flashing her phone once and that's it. I'll look up Project-V. Thanks a mil!
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
The GB bootloader is for the rom and has nothing to do with exchange clients. If you don't have a GB bootloader flashed, you won't be able to see recovery and or when booting you will get the rainbow screen instead of the Passion boot up animation.

The lag is waaay better here. Its ALMOST lagfree. My guess is that it's because somehow, he was able to get hardware composition to work. This rom is pretty smooth and stable now. WAY more smooth than V7 or V.6.5, which was pretty good for me. :)

when flashing bootloaders auto reboot is never a good idea. fail+autoreboot = brick

[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
I am sorry to say that E911 (emergency 911) will not work in this ROM either as this is using our code from CyanogenMod for the RIL (radio interface layer). 911 calling may work, but E911 is different because it has to work even without a SIM. Captain Renard (renardk764) confirmed this for me yesterday and neo confirmed that he is using the same RIL code that we wrote for CyanogenMod (what is weird is that with SIM 911 calling doesn't work in CyanogenMod even though the SamsungRIL.java being used is the one we wrote, so at least you have that).

E911 is the reason we stopped supporting Vibrant in CyanogenMod until a fix can be found by Vibrant developers like the guys doing this ROM and I hope they are successful in their efforts now that I have given up!
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
reflash. and same problem. i'll try flash ginger bootloader
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
no. he asked if people were experiencing it also. and no it's not fixed. well actually that seems to be debatable. this glitch is phone specific always has been. Mine got it my ex's did not running same version of miui every week.

as for "settling" I think i'm settled enough considering how much time i spend answering the same questions every 2 pages for almost 800 pages pre-thread deletion and after. The

search function

is the most important damn button on this forum it

reduces clutter

and allows people to genuinely "try" and

find answers to there questions

, and also

helps Developers scan there threads

more quickly by reducing that clutter to find and address said bugs/glitches.

useless spam hurts everyone using these roms as it's a waste of the developers, and end users time

to have to sort through the garbage to actually get to a real issue that needs to be addressed. Like it or not Even if my post seems harsh and critical. I am right.

this response is hypocritical in the spam point but I feel it justified to point out the key features of the search function for everyone who hasn't used it!
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
That's why this is call a forum question and answer buddy is not a developers only forum... so stop your attitude and if your solution is answered already then don't post your wasting server load.

all the flashable "fixes" for CM7 were hit and miss and it never truly fixed the issue.
